[Ohio-Talk] A historic look at Affiliate Convention Sites

Ohio,

Please email me directly if you have any problems with the hotel.

National Federation of the Blind of Ohio

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
